STRONGER THAN THE WIND You think you've done it all But I'd like to make a bet There's so much more up ahead You ain't seen nothing yet It's gonna take a little time Before the wind dies down Till the storm is over You've got to stand your ground You got to be stronger than the wind You got to be stronger Stronger than the wind Gonna take a little longer Stronger than the wind A tree stays rooted but a tree knows how to bend You know it could be worse At least you're not alone There's a million billion souls Haven't even got a home They haven't any bills to bay And no letters to send They just wait for judgement day At least you've got a friend C'mon and be stronger than the wind Got to be stronger Stronger than the wind Gonna take a little longer Stronger than the wind A tree stays rooted but a tree knows how to bend Let the thunder and lightning Flash above you Right here on earth You got me to love ...
